Looks tough. Any issues with the lift or 32's?

Nope the BB went right on in about 3 hours in my garage by myself.. Working on a brand new vehicle is great.. everything comes apart and goes back together just like it should.. The Tires (Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's) are awesome, 10x quieter than the MT/R's and handle a ton bettter as well. I personally think the 4:10 gears with the 32's is the perfect combo.. the 4:10's with the 31's was geared just a little low for everday driving. |

Glad you had no issues with the lift. Mine was pretty straightforward with a one year old Jeep. The only issue I am having is with some vibe at 45-50mph. I am getting the alignment checked, and need to check the torque for the swaybars to see that they are torqued correctly. Here is the after photo.  |

Sweet! I have a black unlimited and your pics let me know how mine will look when I raise it.  Now the dumb question; are those child seats in the back?  |

Now the dumb question; are those child seats in the back? I keep one in my backseat for my 3 year old. He loves it as well. He whines if he has to go in the minivan. Welcome to the boards. I like your Jeep. |

It turned out to be wheels out of balance. The offroad shop said that it was due to cupping in my tires from not rotating them often enough. Being a software guy, I said, "OK". Funny how all the vibe problems tend to magnify in that velocity range. |
